African writing in English in Southern Africa : an interpretation of the contribution to world literature of Black Africans within the confines of the Republic of South Africa, Rhodesia and the former British protectorates in Southern Africa

Abstract

dc:description.abstract

It is my purpose to show that in Southern Africa African English literature as defined above has absorbed the culture of the West and has begun to reciprocate by adding its own distinctive features. My contention will be based on an investigation of the trends and ideas which appear in the novels, short stories, poetry, drama, autobiographical and critical writing of Africans.
